Anyone have a source for native tree seeds or seedlings?

[1cock2hens]

For several years I've been turning my property from 15 acres of hardwood forest to a few acres of forest and prairie. I've been getting rid of some oaks, elms, and walnut trees and I'm trying to source some native fruit tree seeds and seedlings to diversify my property.
This leads me to my question. Does anyone have a good source of native tree seeds or seedlings they could recommend. Years ago I orders fruit trees off ebay and they did not send me what I ordered so I'm not ok with getting seeds or seedlings from ebay/ etsy/ etc.

Mainly I'm looking for plums right now, I would like to plant a dozen different kinds, but I'm also looking for more pawpaws, pecan trees, persimmons. Also blueberry plants.

I'm in missouri, zone 7.

Would love to help, but I'm in Florida. Have you considered asking in your State thread?

I found this as our extension office did the same for us in Wisconsin. Yours is nicer though.

Unfortunately the nursery missouri uses sells out extremely fast

It would be ideal though, there plum assortment sounds perfect.

They ship throughout North America, although not everything can go everywhere because of laws and regulations.

I bought seedlings from them and have been pleased each time.

There plum tree price is very reasonable.

Also you can also talk to people doing chemical free orchards in your area. In the spring when snow melts people who have fruit trees find the little tiny shoots coming up under them as baby trees. Most of these get culled. But if you had someone in your area as a contact you could just tell them you'd give them a few dollars a piece for some of them... then you'd be able to just deal with transplanting them and keeping them alive from there.
